  • The Art of Reflection is Available Now! - 1 December 2025

    After five years I can't believe the day is finally here! I've been overwhelmed by the immense support I've gotten from everyone, and I still can't fully believe so many people see the same promise in this game that I did all those years ago. Thank you so much to everyone who played the demo, discussed the game, or stopped by to check it out. You all make this worth it.I can't wait to hear about everyone's experience with the game over the coming days and weeks :)Launch DiscountThe game will be 10% off until December 14th! Now is the perfect time to pick it up and give those spatial reasoning skills a flex.How You Can Support UsAs a solo developer, there are tons of ways to support the game:If you buy the game, leaving an honest review on Steam helps immensely. It lets other players know how your time was with the game, and lets me see what's resonating with people and what could use wo…

  • New release date: December 1, 2025 - 10 November 2025

    Bad news: I'm delaying the game again. Good news: It's by one week :)The Art of Reflection needs just a little more time to get everything ready for launch. The game's final release date is now December 1, 2025! Thanks for your patience, and I can't wait for you all to get to play in just a few weeks!

  • New release date: November 24, 2025 - 30 August 2025

    The Art of Reflection has a new release date: November 24, 2025! The final stages of level design and polish need just a couple more months, but are coming along well. I can't wait to get the game into everyone's hands in November!

  • Patch notes for version 2174 (released May 28, 2025) - 30 May 2025

    Added particle vortex effect to draw attention to remaining optional cylinders Added graphics option to disable the paint-in effect (disabling leaves the world fully painted-in) Added minor hue, and saturation, and lightness variation to wall, floor, and ceiling textures. Added support for resolution scaling. Added 0.2s delay before gravity kicks in after a zoom. Music box cylinder and hole shapes now match. This is to more clearly associate cylinders with the correct hub they should be brought to. Added metal wall panels to several areas to try and visually differentiate the two sides of puzzle rooms that are split in half by a glass wall For the first two tutorial zooms, RMB/LT must be pressed and released to toggle zoom mode. This fixes issues where players would think that RMB/LT needs to be held to remain in zoom mode, and would never question this assumption once they see that it…

  • Patch notes for version 2139 (released March 26, 2025) - 27 March 2025

    Improved layout and lighting of the Acrobatics area movable mirror puzzle to better draw attention to certain locations Made key pedestals more visible in a couple areas Orange entry area fizzler no longer resets gravity Made door-key area upper ledge target more visible (and harder to walk too far in and miss) Door-key partial zoom puzzle now uses barriers instead of gaps. This keeps the fundamental puzzle the same while making the execution easier (particular given that it shows up so early, players are sometimes not comfortable with precise zoom interrupts yet) Fixed target collision bounds so the player no longer sticks to them when walking into them Fixed ceiling mirror area puzzle #3 exploit where you could hop from the top of the target over the barrier Tuned default zoom-in sensitivity higher Widened the side of the platform by the door of the suspended upside-down key grab puzz…

  • The Art of Reflection is in Steam Next Fest! - 24 February 2025

    The Art of Reflection is participating in Steam Next Fest, starting right now! The demo got a major update, now's a great chance to check it out if you've been waiting. Or dive back in and solve those last few hidden puzzles ;)

  • Patch notes for version 1997 (released October 19, 2024) - 20 October 2024

    Added support for DirectX feature level 11.0. Until now, the game required feature level 11.1. This should allow some older video cards to run the game (eg. GeForce 600/700 era cards). Added a subtle distance fog Tuned ambient occlusion to be stronger, especially in the distance Added point of no return to the start of the first puzzle in the green upside-down combinations area (the tall narrow column) to reduce disorientation. Swapped green upside-down combinations puzzle #2 (open air key grab) and #3 (closed room key grab) to encourage more interesting solutions to puzzle #2. Moved green upside-down basics puzzle #3 (two-mirror closed room) to another location and made it a bonus puzzle. In its place is a simpler puzzle teaching something small but helpful for entering the orange area. Added a music box to the orange hub area (but it can't be interacted with in the demo, look forward…

  • Language update! - 12 August 2024

Officially supported are: English French Spanish German Brazilian Portuguese Polish Russian Simplified Chinese Japanese Korean If you speak any of these languages, please don't hesitate to report translation issues for both the game and the Steam store page. They can be reported in the Bug Reports section of the discussion forum. Thank you!

  • Patch notes for version 1956 (released June 28, 2024) - 28 June 2024

    Adjusted the sensitivity curve when zooming in. The zoom-in speed is now slower than before when not zoomed in very far, which should make short zooms more ergonomic. Adjusted grey wall material to improve look Minor improvements to line-of-sight visibility between areas Added an entryway to the Hub 2 transition area so that something is visible in the portal when looking up at it from Hub 1 Music cylinder colours now match the areas they're found in 'Return to hub' functionality is now mapped to a key/button. To teach this, a tutorial prompt is now shown upon entering a new area. Fixed bug where you could change the non-zoomed FOV temporarily by zooming in via the scroll wheel during a zoom reset. Fixed bug where if you load a save game during the cylinder stone removal animation, then next stone removal after that won't function correctly Fixed bug where you could drop a tall mirror o…

Short description

Traverse mirrors as if they were natural extensions of space to solve puzzles and uncover secrets. Reshape your perspective to perform gravity-shifting acrobatics as you jungle-gym through a sprawling environment. You'll never look in a mirror the same way again.

About this game

The Art of Reflection is a first-person puzzle game that explores mirrors as if you could pass right through them. What happens when you cross through a mirror and walk around in mirror-land? What if objects, or even gravity aren't the same on the other side? Unfold complex reflected paths as you learn to navigate this world with mastery. Your primary tool is a snap zoom that lets you pass through mirrors, cover long distances in an instant, redirect effortlessly midair in slow-motion, and more. Solve puzzles inside a room, then clamber your way upside-down across the back side of the same structure. A labyrinthine architecture is waiting for you to uncover its hidden corners.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $17.99
  • Highest observed: $17.99

The Art of Reflection's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $17.99, the highest is $17.99, and the first visible tracked price is $17.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

The Art of Reflection's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $17.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $17.99. The latest run records $17.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $17.99
  • Current list price: $17.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Art of Reflection at $17.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
